Custom Home

Cedar Hill/Orchard Estates

Lot 111 - Staghorn Green — We have saved the best for last.

If there is a perfect family home this home should be it. It's design thought was for both now and the future.

The house size at 6000 plus square feet and most of the 1 acre lot being used, nothing for a growing family has been overlooked. The stone and brick exterior and oversized custom wood double front entry doors give its stately appearance. The service entry tucked out of view opens adjacent to the walk in storage room. This corridor area provides easy access to the elevator, basement stairs, change room with shower, rear entry to the pool and tennis court as well as the generous spaces of the 3 car garage.

The basements high ceiling along with careful placement of beams and posts will provide lots of uninterrupted space for the boys to play hockey. A rough in for a full bath, well placed basement windows and contained mechanical areas leave many opportunities for finishing this level at a later date.

The main level is designed for both large extended family gatherings and private family life. Keeping an eye on the children's study habits placed the south facing sunroom/study near the kitchen. A large eating area, oversized windows and a walk in pantry with the spare fridge/freezer were placed to allow maximum rear yard view while providing easy access to summer patio entertaining. A sunken family room with fireplace, leaded glass windows was kept to face west across the rear of the home. A large formal dining room separated from the front living room by half walls and columns is open to the main foyer. A home theatre room to enjoy a movie or play Xbox loud is surrounded by closets, powder and storage so it's insulated walls are less likely to interrupt quiet time elsewhere in the house. The grand curved stairs are open to the second floor.

The second floor holds 5 large bedrooms all with private ensuites as well as walk in closets. A laundry room and exercise room were kept to the furthest from the bedrooms.. The reading library area over looks the foyer below. The master bedroom is generously sized to accommodate the fireplace, sitting area, walk in closet with it's millwork and features a coffered ceiling.
